doctrine, in the obama policy. and it is full of surprises. you have a president who as you said talked about engagement but was taken aside by president bush just days before the inauguration in 2009 and was told there are two programs you're going to find are absolutely critical. one of them is drones, the other is a secret cyber program called olympic games. and not only did president obama embrace those, he doubled down on them, he tripled down on them in some cases. so one question was how do you get to those surprises. the other question was, can the obama light footprint strategy which is to say that the united states will no longer go in and do an afghan or iraq-like conflict. won't spend a trillion dollars and send in 100,000 troops, won't occupy a country in resentments. can that work for anything more than just taking out a small group of terrorists or a nuclear centrifuge some place. can it actually be in to reformulate american power. and that question is still unsettled. >> rose: what will decide it.

the obama administration has tried to find a compromise. so far they hadn't found one that made people happy but there are a couple of deadlines this year and so they're gonna have to revisit this issue and so that's something that is going to be argued out. >> right. >> go ahead, kevin. >> i was going to say, the courts are really the place to watch this because i think, as kim said, there's more than 30 lawsuits that have been filed about this and the very early ones that have come back, the courts seem to be fairly skeptical about the administration's ability to force a catholic institution, for example, to provide contraception. >> the bishops fought hard on this one. how does that leave their relationship with the white house? >> well, that's exactly where i was going to go, because i think that in the wake of the election there were, i mean, first of all, the catholic church has been divided in its attitude toward president obama. the catholic vote split almost down the middle, very slight lead for obama largely because of his overwhe

i wonder how much this helped barack obama. i think that one of the things that people are going to remember about this debate is less what joe biden or paul ryan said than joe bide's constant smiling, shaking his head, oh, my god, looking i thought at some point at something that was just suggesting maybe a little unhinged, i actually thought it came across as slightly condescending and pat tronizing and even a little arrogant and that is exactly the same rap that some people have against barack obama's performance recently, the schtick against obama 35 is one yet he has a tendency to be a little bit arrogant, the last thing the white house needs at the moment is for people to say look this arrogant white house they don't listen to other people and don't take this seriously and not taking us seriously i think that could have hurt with some swing voters, i, from the feedback i have had from people that were watching in their homes, there were even people who had a ten ency to want biden to do well and they didn't like to a see,
